After handing in the papers, Mo Zhu did not waste any time. She laid on the desk and prepared to start her morning’s rest.
The few students sitting in the back row exchanged looks and started whispering.
“Looking at the allocation of seats for Sister Mo’s exam, she doesn’t look like one of the top students of the level. I didn’t expect her to be so good at her studies. Was Sister Mo’s dislike for listening in class previously faked by her?”
“How can that be? She submitted her paper so quickly even though she was writing Chinese words. Sister Mo is really a god! I didn’t even finish answering my multiple-choice questions and she had already finished writing her essay! What kind of godly speed is this!”
“But didn’t Sister Mo fail to do very well last time? Why did she finish her paper so quickly this time? She must have been secretly studying at home! No, no, I have to do the questions faster too!”
Ignoring the murmurings around her, Mo Zhu laid on the table and closed her eyes leisurely.
In the following Mathematics examination, Mo Zhu submitted her papers an hour earlier too. All the students in Class Eight were stunned.
Not only was it because Mo Zhu handed in her papers at a godly speed, but also because through the teacher’s actions of putting away the papers, they acutely saw that the girl’s entire paper was filled with writing. Even the formulas that they had never seen before were listed neatly under the calculation questions by Mo Zhu.
Following the ring of the invigilator’s bell, the morning’s exam passed in everyone’s nervousness and excitement.
When the invigilator finished collecting the papers and walked out of Class Eight, everyone rushed to Mo Zhu.
“Sister Mo, Sister Mo, how did you complete the questions so quickly for the two exams in the morning?”
The first to speak was Jiang Xun. Others might not be able to see it clearly, but his seat during the test was only a small corridor away from Mo Zhu. He had observed Mo Zhu’s entire answering process very carefully.
Mo Zhu rubbed her eyes sleepily and nodded. “Apart from the essay at the back of the Chinese Literature paper, I should have completed everything else.”
“Sister Mo, do you know how to answer all the long questions for Mathematics? I don’t even understand a few of them…” Zhang Qi leaned over and added.
“Mathematics?” Mo Zhu thought for a while. “I should have gotten only 12 marks for the entire paper.”
“Huh? 12 marks? Sister Mo, you can only answer one question correctly?”
When Meng Ran heard Mo Zhu’s words, she was also stunned. She did not expect Sister Mo to score so low after doing it so quickly. It was really a pity!
Mo Zhu took out her phone and looked at the time. Then, she looked up and answered calmly, “I didn’t just get one question correct, instead, I got two multiple-choices correct.”
“Sister Mo, how can that be? The first simple question is really super easy. It’s just a question in our after the class practice with a few numbers changed. You didn’t get this question correct?”
Jiang Xun shook his head regretfully. He had originally thought that Sister Mo was the type of student who was good at studying, but he hadn’t expected that she had done most parts of the paper in a muddle.
Mo Zhu ignored him. She poked Meng Ran with her elbow and said, “I feel hungry after sleeping. Let’s hurry up and get some food to eat.”
Meng Ran nodded in a daze and obediently followed Mo Zhu out of the classroom.
On the way to the canteen, Meng Ran turned her body and shook her head. She pulled Mo Zhu’s hand and asked curiously, “Sister Mo, which two multiple choice questions did you solve? The first four or five questions only required a simple formula to complete. Did you only calculate two?”
Mo Zhu glanced at her and answered seriously, “The answers of those few questions are not very auspicious. I chose the last two choices and the answers are both 88 marks. The meaning’s so great.”
Meng Ran had good grades all along as well. In the days that she hung out with Mo Zhu, she had also learned to be a little more intelligent and witty. Now, she was able to understand the meaning in Mo Zhu’s words instantly.
Meng Ran gave Mo Zhu a shocked look and said in shock, “No way, Sister Mo. So you know how to do all those questions. I’ve read the multiple choice question for ten minutes but I still can’t figure out the answer. You actually solved the correct answer. I’m really impressed!”
Shaking her head with a smile, Mo Zhu looked at the students walking briskly towards the canteen and kindly reminded them, “If you continue thinking about the exam questions from this morning at this speed, we won’t even be able to manage to get the soup when we reach the canteen. Hurry up!”
After hearing Mo Zhu’s words, Meng Ran looked at the “army” that was rushing to the canteen in groups. She shook her head and threw the mess of examination questions and formulas in the morning out of her head. She then pulled Mo Zhu and jogged a few steps.
“Then let’s go quickly, Sister Mo. It’s Monday today. There’s your favorite sweet and sour steak in the canteen. Hurry up and buy two servings to reward your overworked brain!”
This monthly examination lasted for two full days. Besides physics, for all the examinations, Mo Zhu only did the questions for half an hour, handing in the papers by then. Even the teachers from the other class who were sent to supervise them had a deep impression of this student from Class Eight.
It was not that Mo Zhu discriminated against the school’s curriculum, but she had joined the physics special training group after all. If she really scored 20 to 30 marks for the monthly examination, Teacher Duan Xu would lose face.
After the monthly examination, the next segment was the announcement of the results.
